Waiting for all of you to get back from vacation to run the story of Pulchella Winery Tasting Room’s soft opening. (The full story will run this Friday, 1/7/11 and includes all of the wine we tasted.)
But all in attendance that first night agreed that winery co-owners Steve and Megan Lemley, along with Nate and Jennifer Hasper, did an outstanding job creating a heaven on earth in Downtown Newhall! Today, we have the story in pictures:

| People that saw these photos on Facebook were in awe of the crowds…some guessed it was photoshop, some didn’t! |
